Inauspicious Times (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781771611923)

"Writing is my way to travel into interior countries of darkness & light & bring back stories, snapshots, fragments to astonish, to nourish, to challenge." --Hume Cronyn

Hume Cronyn's work has received wide critical acclaim: "...one of the best books I've read in a long time, an undogmatic manifesto that's anarchistic, funny, and mad. It's so good I'm grateful to it that I didn't want it to end. Everything about this book - its energy, fierce comic wisdom, its stuffed and muscled lines -fills me with wonder. The poems are willfully raw and honest, compelled by defiance, joy, anger and wild white-light hope...I have never read a book that took Whitman further and took me, exhilarated, out of myself into the traffic jam, the mess of humanity."-- Margaret Sweatman, Books in Canada

"This is impressive poetry. It is brilliant and able to enter into the heart of desperate and disturbed feelings, illuminating them and expressing them with insight and beauty." --Stella Stocker, Orbis
